Wilmas Curried Chicken Mayonnaise Recipes

CURRY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Stir together until all ingredients are incorporated.
• Chill 15 minutes.

COLD CHICKEN WITH CURRY MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place in a deep dish and microwave for 22-25 minutes on 100% power, or until cooked. Turn over from time to time. Remove the chicken from the dish and allow to cool. Skim the fat from the liquid in the dish.
• Peel and slice the onions in rings. Place them in the cooking liquid and microwave, uncovered for 5 minutes on 100% power.
• Combine the apricot jam, curry powder, vinegar and cornflour. Stir into the onion mixture. Microwave the mixture, uncovered, for about 4 minutes on 100% power, or until thick; stir halfway through this time. Allow to cool. Stir the mayonnaise into the cold onion mixture. Arrange the cold chicken thighs on a serving platter and spoon the curried mayonnaise over them. Chill well.

• Remove from cooktop and set aside to cool off.
• Arrange the chicken in a serving dish (or break into smaller pieces first).
• Mix the mayonnaise with the cooled curry mixture and pour over the chicken.

IRAQI CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat and add the oil.
• Add the chicken pieces and cook gently until browned on all sides.
• Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
• Yes, this is a long simmer for a chicken, but these are the instructions I was given, and when I tried it at home it tasted just like our meal at the camp. The potatoes should just about disintegrate, which thickens the stock, now turned sauce.
• Note that the fat and bones from the chicken will disengage from the meat - not very palatable for our tastes, but the Iraqi family seemed to have just ate around them. (I remove them and the cinnamon sticks before serving.).
• Serve over rice. We like to add cooked or steamed vegetables over the rice before drowning it with the curry. Box of frozen broccoli works for us. Oh - they also served whole pita breads with this, which they tore and passed on to one another to tear and pass and use as scoops. Neat!
